Rasmus,
Why would the fact that Michael isn't interested in supporting Netscape by
himself stop this from becoming a PHP community project? I think the whole
idea of making this a php.net/PEAR project would be that others from the
community would help improve it and it would become what people want it to
become.
I actually think he has a point that we should strive to create one good
framework for PHP. This is very much like PEAR trying to give people good
framework/class solutions.
Why are you being so completely against without letting the rest of php-dev
& pear-dev discuss it? "Ok, then you have made our decision quite easy.".
Who is "our"?
Anyway, I'm not saying that this PHP XMF needs to necessarily become the
basis but I think it'd be a good idea to pitch this to the PEAR guys and
see what they think about it (cc'ed them). I'm sure that if the pear guys
would take such a project under their hood it would work with Netscape
within a few weeks. Working or not working with Netscape is not a reason
for not taking something as a starting baseline IMO.
